CRUSADER TANK

"USA Armor Division"

This is a recreation of the Crusader Tank from Command and Conquer generals. I created this Crusader as if it was brought to reality, fixed some of it's design problems and added some small details and functions that I think the tank would have if it was brought into reality. I'll tackle it further in a bit, first let's figure out the controls. And also sorry for the bad screenshot, I'm only playing in mobile.

Movement:
Pitch - Forward/Reverse
Roll - Turn left/right
Yaw - Turret rotation
Brake - Brake
VTOL - Gun elevation

Activation Groups:
Ag1 - Turret rotation and gun elevation
Ag2 - Front lights
Ag3 - activate coaxial MG
Ag4 - Activate auto AA MG
Ag5 - None
Ag6 - None
Ag7 - None
Ag8 - None

Features:
125mm main gun
1 coaxial machine gun
1 auto targeting anti-aircraft machine gun (good against low flying aircraft)
100 flare/smoke launcher
50 km/h top speed
Moderate details

So this design has features that are present on modern day tanks, most of it are from the m1 abrams which I think was the base for the Crusader Tank. Added a cupola because in the game the Crusader didn't have a cupola which is a big design flaw in tanks in general. Added the smoke launchers because a lot of modern day tanks has it. Added the auto-tracking AAMG as a alternative for the remote control turrets on some modern day tanks (I just thought that a auto-tracking turret is way cooler than the usual turrets). And lastly the coaxial machine gun which is like present in a lot of tanks so I also added it.

And that's my overall interpretation of the Crusader tank if it was brought into reality.

Enjoy the build!!!! And remember "This'll wake em up"

Hint to my next Generals related build: "Don't get on my bad side"

    @Freerider2142 Thank you so much!!! And unfortunately I still don't have a computer at the moment, I'm saving for college (I'm at last year high school) but I'll probably check those games out in the future, CnC really is a franchise that I won't forget, I'm a RTS guy afterall. Thanks for the upvote and have a great day!!!

    @ComradeComissar this is pretty cool!
    love that you made it more realistic than ingame
    highly recommend checking out command and conquer Ultimate collection on steam, if you want to check out other games in the series..
    I got it and been having a blast in Zero hour, tiberium sun and C&C3 after not playing them for a few years.

    @DISHWASHER2005 unfortunately no, I only played on internet cafes back then and they did not have those games, they only had the Generals series, but if you want to request something out of those games I'll do some research and try to make it
